Giordano Bros. - Primanti knockoff [San Francisco]

New place caught my nose as I was walking through North Beach: Giordano Bros. (303 Columbus near Broadway). They sell "all-in-one" sandwiches ($6.50-6.75) filled with your choice of grilled meat (sausage, coppa, pastrami, cheesesteak, smoked turkey), provolone, french fries, and cole slaw, inspired by Primanti Bothers in Pittsburgh, PA.

I didn't have the appetite but it looked good. Flyer says the bread's from Italian French Bakery, the meats from Molinari's, and produce from Bob Sbragia. Tomorrow through 9/25, buy one, get another for a nickel.
